So impressed with all needs cared for. Has a lovely, happy vibe and management and staff are great. From the initial visit, they were so welcoming and informative. All staff are so pleasant and nothing is too much bother for them. Have seen so much improvement in my brother since his arrival, he is well cared for and likes the staff and his very pleasant room and food. He gets involved with all activities and outings and enjoys them very much, he says they are so good to him. Couldn't be in a better place.
Generally staff are lovely, however, they can be dismissive when suggestions around care are made. My grandmother is always well dressed and looks well cared for, however, it's evident, her hair isn't always brushed. Meal options are well amended to my nanas taste so she is never left hungry -...
Generally staff are lovely, however, they can be dismissive when suggestions around care are made. My grandmother is always well dressed and looks well cared for, however, it's evident, her hair isn't always brushed. Meal options are well amended to my nanas taste so she is never left hungry - cleaners could make more of an effort to have a 'general tidy round' of her room as mouldy fruit was found in the fruit bowl ready to eat.. loads of activities for my nan to get involved in.
Mam is very settled in the care home. They provide lots of good entertainment. Mam is happy so the family is happy. Excellent care is given.

Hello, my name is Rachel, and I am a housekeeper at Springvale Court. I have worked here since 2019. I love my job! No two days are the same. I love nothing more than a nice, clean home for all of our residents, families and colleagues.
I am also a trained Care Assistant to help when needed on a day shift, and you may see me in a green uniform more regularly from August, as I am starting to embrace the care role on a more permanent basis in order to deliver quality care to our residents, as this is something I am passionate about. I would highly recommend Barchester to anyone wanting to work in the care sector.
I love working at Springvale Court and enjoy each and every shift, spending time with the residents in the home
